Inspiration Monday XIX

Happy Independence Day, Americans! Happy normal Monday, everyone else. Tonight is the end of a long glorious weekend involving fireworks, an insanely sparkly engagement ring (not my own : P), an epic phone call (which I couldn”t really hear due to said fireworks), the gratitude of strangers (reponsible for one of today’s prompts), and the rewriting of a scene to include a character getting shot in the gut! To quote Rebecca Black, “fun, fun, fun.”

The Rewriters continue to produce awesome work. Really, could life get any better? Read up!

There are none. Read the prompts, get inspired, write something. No word count minimum or maximum. You don’t have to include the exact prompt in your piece, and you can interpret the prompt(s) any way you like.

OR

No really; I need rules!

Okay; write 200-500 words on the prompt of your choice. You may either use the prompt as the title of your piece or work it into the body of your piece. You must complete it before 6 pm CST on the Monday following this post.

The Prompts:

My dad never looks at me*

Sneezing stardust

A stranger’s thank you

She cried out in her sleep

I’m the only one who can’t

Ahhhhhhh… that feels better. I’m back and glad to be writing for this amazing challenge again. What an incredible choice of topics. Had a hard time choosing one, but here is what I ended up with (thanks TragicPete):

Hi again! It’s ME! haha Late, as usual. I just love how these prompts genuinely PROMPT a response. One or more of them just grab me each week, and my response is forth-coming easily! I appreciate the prompts! 🙂
